bills(帐).The money was used for food ,clothes, the house, and other family needs. The man made most of the
decisions. He was the boss.
In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the
children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house ,washed the clothes ,and did other housework .Her job at home was very important.
In recent years, many couples(夫妇)continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind . The man has a job

Americans are happy with the kind of marriage .But some other Americans have a different impression of

Passage 3
Everybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people
eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.
The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food,
wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food
out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They
order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef,
sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and
ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.
Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people,
this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always
the same. People know that if they eat at a company's restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be
the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.

Passage 1
As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make
business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good
idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be
much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating a good meal alone, choose good restaurants.
In the end, they will be much better for your digestion(消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in
advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better
table. Finally, and most importantly, prepare for your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed(装满). Take a folding(折叠)case inside
your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy(极其方便)for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and
papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently
required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first
11
by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!
41. Where would this passage most likely appear?
A. In a magazine specially for women.
B. In a restaurant and hotel guide.

A. Working women who have no time for cooking.
B. Husbands and children of working women.
C. Working women who must travel on their own.
D. Hotel managers who must attend to working women.
43. Why is it useful for business women to call the restaurant in advance?
A.They can eat alone.
B.It is better for their digestion.
C.They might get better service and a better table.
D.They will be safe alone.
44 Why is lightweight luggage important for the traveling businesswoman?

C. It can double as a briefcase.
D. It is usually big enough to carry all business documents.
45. What is not important for the business women to have a good trip?

C.To make a careful plan.
D.To move up the professional ladder.
Passage 2
Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to
school or to friends' houses. Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at
a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the
other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that
driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.
Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed
in accidents every day. The annual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.
To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the
traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!
46.The word convenient in the passage means ________ .
A. handy, easy to do

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each
age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without
wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good
parents, he is
fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so
much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things
that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not
so free to do what he wishes to do；he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has
done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his
clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about
in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the
laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he
can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
51. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life
52. After a child grows up, he ________.
A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help in time of trouble
D. should be able to take care of himself
53. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People are often satisfied with their life.
B. Life is less interesting for old people.
C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.
D. Adults should no longer rely on others.
54. The main idea of the passage is _________.
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the move enjoyable time in one's life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
55. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _________.
A. examples of successful young men
B. how to build up one's position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life

大一英语期末考试试题精选 又到一个学期的期末了，大家复习好大学英语了吗?为大家精心挑选了一份大学英语第一学期期末试卷，供大家复习使用，希望能够帮助到大家! 大学一年级英语试卷 Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, w ho review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”

You get freedom and the chance to meet new people. You are living away from home, planning your own routine and even cooking your own meals——and that means looking after your own money. At university, it’s all about the cash. Fees, student loans, rent, bills, overdraft (银行透支款)——you name it, you might have to pay for it. An important aspect of being at university is managing your own time. It’s up to you to decide when you’ll study, when you’ll go shopping and when you’ll have a night out. Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? Of course, it is a good idea to organize your time with a weekly or monthly schedule. Remember, you can be as flexible with your time as you like, but you’ll always need to make sure you get out of bed for lectures, meet essay and project deadlines, and schedule in plenty of revision days before exams. After a hard day’s study, going out and having fun is what student life is all about. You can get involved in voluntary work and student representation activities and you could contribute and learn new skills with student magazine and r adio station. It’s the perfect way to make friends and add a bit of sparkle to you CV(个人简历). University life is about learning. You’ll be expected to go to all your lectures and classes. Most courses are assessed through exams, essays, practical work an d projects. You’ll have anything from one to five hours of lectures, in a day. But on top of that, you are expected to do a number of hours of self-study. Every student has a personal tutor to help with any problems you might have or you can speak to your lecturers and other tutors if you have questions. If you plan you time and your workload, you’ll have plenty of free time to enjoy student life at university. Plus, getting a degree makes sense in the long run——graduates earn more and are more likely to get a job than people without a degree. 1. According to the author, which is not the advantage of being away from home? A. Freedom B. Being rich. C. The chance to meet new friends. D. Plan your own routine. 2. Being college students, you can____________. A. plan your time freely. B. borrow a lot of money from the bank. C. cook in your friends’ houses. D. spend money at your will. 3. The word flexible in the underlined sentence means ________. A. can be bent easily. B. feel very happy. C. can be changed easily to suit any new situation. D. can be easily obtained. 4. In order to pass the exams, you are expected to do a lot expect_____________. A. surfing the net for information. B. going for lectures. C. reviewing what you have learnt. D. writing papers. 5. You can make effort to do many things in order to enrich your blank CV. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. You can involve in voluntary work. B. You can contribute to magazines. C. You can take part in representation activities. D. You can undertake part-time jobs. 6. If___________, you can enjoy your life at university. A. you work day and night.

Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星） from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings
